3. In a large bowl, combine pasta, cilantro, corn, black beans, and tomatoes – toss with dressing to taste

4. Serve warm or at room temperature

{Tip: when dressing pasta with any kind of sauce or vinaigrette, it’s important to toss the pasta when it’s warm, not hot. If the pasta is hot it will absorb all the sauce at once, but if you wait until it cools slightly you can use less sauce and it will have better flavor. You will find that if you hold it for too long before it’s dinner time, the pasta will drink up all the sauce.}
